UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE,

EDVIN LUNT, OF NEVBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS.

SHOE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,052, dated April 13, 1886,

Application filed November 30, 1885. Serial No. 154,207. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it 772601/ concern:

Beit known that I, EDWIN LUNT, of Newburyport, in the county ofEsseX, of the Coinmonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Shoes; and I do hereby declare the same to be described inthe following specilication and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure lis a side view, Fig. 2 a top View, Fig. 3 a transverse section, and Fig. 4 a bottomview, of a cloth slipper made in accordance with my invention, the nature of which is defined in the claim hereinafter presented.

In the said drawings, A denotes the shoe upper, usually of cloth. B is the main sole, usually of felt; C, an outer or protection sole, usually of vulcanized rubber, while D is the cloth lining, including the insole a, which is integral with or connected to the lining.

After the upper has had the lining placed within it and connected to it at the edges of the mouth of the shoe by binding b, lapped upon and stitched to them, the upper is to be lasted, the main or felt sole is to be placed within the upper and against the insole a, after which the outer or protection sole is to be placed on the main or felt sole, and with it pinned or nailed to the last. This having been done, the upper, the felt s'ole, and the protection-sole are to be connected by a line or range of stitches going through them parallel with and at a short distance within the edge of each, the projecting edge of the upper being subsequently suitably trimmed, it' nec essary.

The upper is composed of the vamp d and quarters e e, as in most other shoes.

In Figs. 3 and 4 the stitching is shown at c.

The stitching does not go through the lining, either in the portion thereof within the vamp or through the insole making part of the lining. By having the lining ofthe vamp con` nected to the insole orintegral therewith there is saved the necessity of fastening the lining by sewing it with the Vamp to the outer sole or soles, and thereby increasing the thickness of the material or vamp fixed thereto. I usually cement the insole part of the lining to the outer sole.

I do not claim a shoe made as represented in either of the United States Patents Nos. 295,973 and 301,816, neither having to it any lining in which the insole forms a part, as is the case in my shoe.

I claim- As a new or improved article oi manufacture, a shoe or cloth slipper composed of au upper or vamp and quarters and two outer soles lapped together and combined ywith and by a row of stitches extending through and about them near their edges, and of a lining arranged wit-hin the upper and including an insole, and connected to the upper at the mouth thereof by al binding stitched to both lining and upper, all beingsubstantially as set forth, such insole being integral with or connected to the portion of the lining extending from it without being stitched to the outer sole and the vamp.

EDWIN LUN-T.
